Har.  This package is a general parallel computing package written
in a language invented here for that very purpose.  Currently it
runs in an Intel iPSC/860.  We see > Cray-2 performance with
16 i860 nodes.

Now if a friend of mine gets off his but and builds is dream
parallel machine (bunch of '030s in a box with an ethernet port) maybe
we'll see it running on a machine that costs < $300,000. :-)
